Blepharoplasty involves removing excess skin and re-contouring the fatty tissue which causes bags under and occasionally above the eyes. Incisions are placed in nature’s skin folds to camouflage scars. Occasionally, eyelids can be treated with internal incisions so there is no external scar.
Very fine lines around eyelids “crows feet” are not usually improved with a Blepharoplasty surgery, however, with realistic expectations, the “sad” look may be improved.
Complications are rare but must be thoroughly discussed and considered before you decide to have surgery.
